Prior to the opening of the session the lord chamberlain, Lord Carrington, ac- companied by ten yeomen of the guard, four marshals, ete., and a numter of po- licemen, made the customary Guy Fawkes search of the vaults of the houses of par- liament in order to see that no prepara- tions had been made to blow up the build- ings. In the house of lords Lord Welby moved the address in reply to the speech from the throne and Lord Battersea seconded the moticn. In the house of commons Mr. Hobhouse moved the address and Mr. Holland sec- onded it. The queen's speech was as follows: “My lords and gentlemen—My relations with the foreign powers remain friendly and on a satisfactory footing. An agrec- ment has been conchided, after protracted negotiations, between my government a that of the French republic for the settle- ment of the frontier between my colony of Sierra Leone and the neighboring French possessions. I regret to say that the war between China and Japan still continues. I have maintained a close and cordial under- standing with the powers interested in those regions, and I shall lose no favorable oppertunity of promoting a peaceful ter- minetion of the contest. “In consequence of reports which have reached my government of excesses com- mitted by Turkish troops, regular or irreg- ular, on Armenians in a district of Asia Minor, I thought it right, in conjunction with other powers, to make representa- Uons to the porte. The sultan has de- clared his intention of severely punishing any of his officers or soldiers who have been guilty of such acts, and has sent a commission to conduct an investigation on the spot.

Relieved of Their Valuables on a Santa Fe Train. PUEBLO, Col., February 5.—The western express on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road, train No. 1, bound for Colorado and California, was held up one mile west of Sylvia, Reno county, Kan., at If o'clock last night, by four masked men, who signaled danger. Two of the robbers covered the engineer and fireman and two went to the express car. For some reason they failed to effect an entrance, and then went to the coaches and made the passengers give up all their valu- ables. The train was held for an hour and ten minutes by the robbers, who then rode south. Conductor McGrath ran the train back to Sylvia and gave the alarm, and the sherifv was on the train with his posse in a few minutes. The men are believed to be mem- bers of the Stafford gang. One of the pair who went through the train is described in height as five feet nine inches and wore a wide-rimmed gray hat. The other man was tall and wore a mackintosh. -_— NOT ILLEGALLY The Mall Sizns on President Norton's Trolley Cars.

See Se eroees DEATH OF MR. DORSEY. Ethnology Passes Awry. Rey. J. Owen Dorsey of the ethnological jureau died yesterday morning at his home, 202 F street northwest. Mr. Dor- sey's name has for many years been prom- inent in philological Work in this country, and his death will be a gr loss to the science of ethnology. He was born in Bal- timore in 18i8. He was educated at Bal- timore High School and the Episcopal Theolegical Seminary of Virginia, at Al- exandria. He was ordained by the bishop of Virginia in 1871, and in May of that year began work as a missionary among the Ponca Indians. Iiness obliged him to return east in 187%, soon after he had learned the Ponca tongue well enough to alk with the natives without an interpre- ame back to Maryland and began Prof. Henry, to whom he mentioned Mr. Dorsey to Maj. and the following year M ed to enter upon the wor was known, Powell in 1 Dorsey was inv: of the ethnological bureau, to which unin- terruptedly he gave the rest of his life. Mr. Dorsey came of an old Maryland and Virginia family, from whic there was rectuited for the Union service a w company of Dorseys. He was much in- terested in the genealogy of his family and well acquainted with every branch of it. He showed great precocity in. chi hood. At six, they s. v the Je- brew alphabet, and at ten he read the la guage. In later years his aptitude for li guistic study led him to make a study of numerous languages, in which he acquired more than ordinary facili He published numerous works in the reports of the eth- nological bureau, and leaves mahy more yet to be published. Among them the most important is the volume on “Dhegida Language, Myths, Stofies and Letters.” He was a contributor to many scientific periodicals. In his inquiry into aboriginal languages, customs and traits Mr. Dorsey pursued the work not only in the field among the Indians, but took the novel ccurse of bringing numerous delegations of Indians to Washington, where, through them, their language might be made the subject of careful and extended study. In addition to his work among the Siouan d lects, he also gave much attention to the language of the northern Pacific coast Tn- dians, the Athabascan, Kusan, Takelman and Yakonan stocks. His latest work, en- titled “Omaha Dwellings, Furniture and Implements,” will soon be published by the bureau of ethnology. Mr. Dorsey was a cousin of Mrs. Anna Vernon Dorsey, the novelist. Ss No Necessity. Relative to the request of Mr. Henry Calver of 501 F strect that the sewer on the north side of F street between 17th and 18th streets be replaced, the Commission- ers informed him that upon examination of the sewer it was found to be in a Zood sanitary condition, and that, in the opinion of the Commissioners, there is no necessity for the replacement of this sewer.

NEW MODE OF AUDIT Assistant Secretary Hamlin Praises the Present System, * SOME IMPROVEMENTS POINTED OUT es Change in Making Advahces to, Disbursing Officers;, ia i NO SAFEGUARDS REMOVED ———_.—__—_ Old officials of the Treasury Department have had much to say about the oppor- tunities for fraud and mismanagement presented by the new system of account- ing, which was inaugurated as a result of the investigation by the experts of the Dockery commission. Their view is not in- dorsed by the present authorities of the department who have supervision of the work. Assistant Secretary Hamlin has made, statement to the House committee on appropriations, in which he praises the results of the new system. Mr. Hamlin says that it has been a mat- ter of great surprise and satisfaction that such radical changes could be made with so little friction and trouble; that the new system is already working smoothly, and that many advantages from it have been made apparent since it went into operation. A commendable improvement which he points out relates to the accounts of dis- bursing officers. Formerly advances were made to these officials simply upon requisi- tions, without any investigation of their accounts, but the new regulations do not allow advances to be made until their former accounts have been rendered and the auditors have full evidence as to their new standing. No Safeguards Taken Down. “Under the new system,” says Mr. Ham- lin, “no safeguards of the treasury have been taken down; on the contiary, the careful supervision and close check upon the disbursing officers of the governzicnt by the auditors affords the greatest pos- sible. check on expenditures that can be devised. “Under the old system there were two controliers end also the commissioner of customs, who performed duties similar to those of a controller, making actually three offices doing what might be called control- ler's work. ‘The sixth auditor had tinal set- tlement of accounts of the Post Oitice De- partment, except upon appeal’to the con- troller, whose decision was final. The ac- counts of the land office were not settled by the commissioner of that office even as un auditor would settle them. The law simply assigned to the commissioner's of- fice the duty of stating the accounts to the controller for his decision and settlement. ‘That under the old system there was not more fraud and peculation has been due entirely to the integrity of the disbursing otlicers and those intrusted with the funds of the government, as no control over the accounts ef disbursing officers was then held by the auditors and controllers. Advances to Disbursing Officers. “Continual advances were made to dis- bursing officers as requested by them by requisitions, without any knowledge on the part of the Treasury Department as to the status of the officers’ accounts, notwith- Stancing the fact that enormous balances were charged against these ollicers on the books of the Treasury Department, run- ning up ofttimes into millions of dollars, “For example, a disbursing officer in one instance received an advance in December, 189%, although there charged against him on his account, unaccounted for, over $5,000,000, In the case of acccunts for In- nts, they would lie ir the office of the commissioner of Indian affairs for a year before being taken up for examina- tion; then they would lie in the office of the second auditoz for a year after he had received them before he could take them up for examination, so that it would be over two years before the auditor could send them to the centroller; then, after he had pessed upon then and sent them to the contrcller, they would be retained there possibly another year before the account could be settled and entered; and all this time regular advances were being made to the Indian agent. . "Ninety per cent of the money that Is disbursed by the government is paid out by disbursing agents. A system which does not supervise and check accurately and premptly the officer who disburses the money is not a correct system. No amount of triple or quadruple revisions could com- pensate for this great weakness. The sys- tem of accounting in the Treasury Depart- ment in times of exigency, such as our late civil war, was entirely lax. For example, the account of a _paymaster of the army stationed at New York was settled Novem- ber 1, 1867, which included his disburse- ments up to and including December 3, 1863, being four years behind in the settle- ment. It showed an aggregate amount of Ste 000; and November 1, 1867, a bal- ance was brought down and charged against him as unaccounted for of $14: 000, ‘itis not claimed that this money was not disbursed, or that he had not account- ed for it in some shape to the paymaster general, but as far as concerned the ac- counting branch of the government, the money Was, at that settlement, practically uraccounted for. This officer had a bond of $40,000, The absurdity of the system could ‘not be better illustrated than by this example. Paymasters’ Accounts. “Since that date the accounts of pay- masters have been gradually brought up so that they are nearer the time of ex- penditures than before, but in settling the accounts of any of these paymasters who do any considerable business the balances charged against them, which is stated as the amount they owe to the governme is often from $500,000 to $2,000,000, A. sy tem which would allow these enormous Falances to accumulate certainly was not a system which should be lauded as a very great protection to the government. “If any corporation or business concern kept go little supervision over their dis- bursing agents, or people entrusted with their funds, as did the government under the old system, there would be ten times the amount of peculation that has existed, for the reason that greater temptation would be offered. “No system of accounting can be devised will absolutely protect against pos- sible corruption in the administration of affairs, nor did the system prior to October 1, 1804, prevent irregularities in the ad- ministrative branches, or secure their de- tection by the accounting officers. For in- stance, the Burnside frauds, amounting to $20,000, in the Post Office Department; the star route frauds, the horse claim frauds, frauds in the Department of Justice by Disbursing Clerk Ewing, frauds in the Navy Department under the law authoriz- ing the treasury to indemnify the surviv of wrecked vessels for the loss of personal property, the Howgate frauds, and many others. “None of these frauds were discovered by the contreller, but the knowledge of Castoria For Infants and Children. CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS. CASTORIA CURES CONSTIPATION. CASTORIA ALLAYS FEVERISHNESS. CASTORIA CURES DIARRHOEA AND COLIC. CASTORIA RELIEVES TEETHING TROUBLES. CASTORIA PREVENTS VOMITING SOUR CURD. “The use of ‘Castoria’ is so universal and Its merits so well known that !t seems a work of supererogation to indorse it. Bew are the intell!- gent families who do not keep Castoria within reach,”” beonschaes CARLOS MARTYN, D.D., New York city. the irregularities came through either the auditor’s offices or scme other source. The Old and New System. Under both the old and the new systems, Mr. Hamlin continues, an official audit of accounts and claims is made in all the ad- ministrative departments before they are gent to the treasury for audit. There is as complete an audit in each bureau of a department as would be required by any commercial house, and the new plan re- quires that after this audit all accounts shall be passed upon by an auditor making a complete double check. A claim settled by an auditor is not paid until the depart- ment is notified of the result of the audit. The controller acts as the appealing offi- cer where there are differences cr errors, and his decisions guide all the auditors in making their findings uniform. The con- troller also has tu pass upon advances to disbursing officers, end if their accounts are not satisfactory may refuse to coun- tersign the warrants. Mr. Hamlin says “the new system brings together all the books of the government, so that a com- plete statement can now be made, and will be made, of the condition of accounts. It has already developed the fact that large balances have been standing against dis- bursing officers unaccounted for, and it will bring these acccunts up to date.” —_—_+ e.____—__ Allowed to Intervene. Judge Cox today signed an order allow- ing J. Frank Supplee, committee of the person and the estate of Catharine V. Sup- plee, to intervene in the suit brought by the Washington Beneficial Endowment As- sociation against the Commercial Alliance Life Insurance Company. ————— No Reason. In the matter of the request of Dr. D. H. Williams of Freedman’s Hospital for the erection of two fire plugs within the grounds of Freedman’s Hospital, the Com- missioners have informed him that they have ordered the placement of a fire hy- drant at the corner of 5th and Pomeroy streets, but that no sufficient reason can be found for complying with his wishes for the placing of hydrants within the property of the hospital. eed Time Schedule.

Our old foe, the grip, has attacked us again. He has been aided by cold, damp weather, and the vile condition of the streets in towns and cities. Strong men and women are stricken down and tormented by the fear that even if they recover their health will, in all probability, be permanently shattered. This is one of the worst things about the grip— that it may leave the senses impaired and iungs, stomach or nervous system weakened. Doctors are urging the need of precautionary measures. Keep warm, well fed and good tempered, they say. Avoid overwork, worry and wet feet as you would a deadly poison. -More; brace and tone your body with a pure stimulant, which shall aelp the digestive and respiratory organs to nourish and cleanse the system. Public opinion commends Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky as an invaluable aid in fighting the grip. It is prepared with a view to combating those malarial influences which together go to makg the power of our old enemy. A sheeze, a cough, a dull headache, with, probably, a little fever and some muscular pain, teil that the invader is at hand. You will soon find how wise you were to take Duffy’s Pure Malt Whisky, for it stirs your blood so that waste matter is readily driven out, while well-digested food is turned to new tissue.
